FIrst
,
here
is
expressed
the
occasion
.
Secondly
,
the
impulsiue
causes
.
That
which
ministred
occasion
to
the
Lord
of
this
weeping
,
was
the
sight
of
the
citie
:
vers.
41.
The
causes
impulsiue
are
two
:
namely
two
euills
,
the
one
present
,
and
the
other
future
.
The
present
euill
was
,
the
euill
of
the
minde
:
to
wit
,
the
blindnes
of
the
Citizens
:
vers.
42.
The
affirmation
of
this
blindnes
,
he
amplifieth
by
an
antithesis
of
a
contrarie
wish
or
desire
:
when
he
saith
:
Oh
that
thou
haddest
knowne
at
the
least
in
this
thy
day
,
those
things
which
belong
vnto
thy
peace
!
&c.
The
future
euill
pertained
vnto
their
bodies
,
This
destruction
,
againe
he
excellently
deliniateth
by
the
partes
thereof
:
and
afterward
declareth
by
the
impulsiue
cause
,
what
mooued
the
Lord
thereunto
:
namely
,
their
ingratitude
toward
the
gratious
visitation
of
God
:
because
thou
knewest
not
the
time
of
thy
visitation
.
1
First
for
our
instruction
,
let
vs
note
here
in
this
first
verse
.
these
three
things
.
That
it
is
said
,
he
came
neare
to
▪
Ierusalem
.
2
That
,
he
beheld
the
Citie
.
3
That
he
wept
for
it
.
For
the
first
,
God
in
his
mercie
oftentimes
commeth
neere
vnto
sinners
obstinate
in
their
vices
and
wickednes
,
that
he
might
irradiate
and
dispierce
the
darkenes
of
their
minds
,
with
the
bright
beames
of
his
grace
and
holy
inspirations
.
This
is
it
our
louing
God
saith
:
Behold
I
stand
at
the
doore
and
knocke
,
But
ô
wretched
men
and
women
which
neglect
so
great
a
proffered
saluation
,
reiect
his
diuine
inspirations
,
stoppe
the
doore
of
their
hearts
against
so
sweet
a
guest
,
and
refuse
to
heare
his
voyce
,
and
giue
a
deafe
eare
to
his
wholesome
admonitions
.
This
obstinacie
of
the
sinners
,
and
iniurie
offered
to
their
Creator
,
the
Prophet
bewaileth
and
denounceth
a
woe
against
them
:
Woe
to
her
that
is
filthie
and
polluted
,
to
the
robbing
citie
,
she
heard
not
the
voyce
,
she
receiued
not
correction
,
she
trusted
not
in
the
Lord
,
she
drew
not
neere
vnto
her
God
.
He
approached
not
so
much
with
his
bodily
feete
,
as
with
the
feete
of
loue
and
compassion
:
whereby
we
are
taught
to
be
tender
hearted
,
towards
such
as
are
in
miserie
:
yea
,
the
rich
may
here
learne
to
come
neere
the
poore
and
needie
,
and
in
a
sympathie
and
fellow-feeling
of
their
miseries
,
to
relieue
their
necessities
,
if
they
will
be
true
followers
of
Christ
.
Next
it
is
said
,
that
he
beheld
the
citie
:
O
how
happie
had
they
bene
if
they
had
made
vse
of
this
the
Lords
beholding
them
:
so
he
beheld
Peter
,
Zacheus
and
Mathew
,
But
if
thou
hide
thy
face
they
are
troubled
,
saith
the
Prophet
.
Hide
not
thy
face
from
me
in
the
time
of
my
trouble
.
He
wept
for
it
:
Here
are
laide
open
before
vs
these
two
attributes
and
perfections
of
God
:
Mercie
and
Iustice
,
which
alwaies
goe
together
coniunction
,
and
hand
in
hand
,
in
all
his
workes
.
His
Iustice
appeared
,
in
that
he
tooke
so
district
a
reuenge
vpon
that
nation
for
their
grieuous
sinnes
against
him
.
It
was
his
tender
mercie
in
that
he
wept
,
and
bewailed
(
a
signe
of
his
true
humanitie
)
their
extreame
miserie
and
finall
desolation
at
hand
for
their
wickednes
,
the
fire
of
Gods
wrath
alreadie
kindled
,
and
the
sword
of
his
heauenly
father
readie
drawne
to
strike
them
.
His
mercie
is
ouer
all
his
workes
.
Because
they
knewe
not
the
time
of
their
visitation
:
As
I
shall
(
God
willing
)
vnfold
at
large
when
I
come
to
the
handling
of
these
words
.
Whereby
it
plainely
appeareth
,
that
the
Lord
did
not
so
much
bewaile
the
ruine
of
the
strong
walles
,
the
stately
Towers
,
the
gorgeous
buildings
,
the
rich
ornaments
and
beautie
of
that
goodly
citie
,
(
all
which
he
foresawe
should
be
vtterly
ruinated
for
their
sinnes
:
)
their
sinnes
(
I
say
)
the
cause
of
al
misery
,
which
they
made
light
of
,
and
least
thought
vpon
,
did
drawe
these
teares
from
the
sacred
eyes
of
our
Sauiour
.
We
see
sometimes
a
mad
man
,
the
neerer
he
is
to
destruction
,
the
more
he
laugheth
and
sporteth
:
but
his
deare
friends
,
knowing
the
danger
he
is
in
,
weepe
and
bewaile
him
the
more
.
This
franticke
citie
when
it
was
nearest
to
spoile
&
vtter
destruction
,
most
laughed
and
reioyced
,
but
Christ
sheddeth
compassionate
teares
for
them
,
which
he
would
not
haue
done
,
if
they
had
lamented
and
mourned
for
their
owne
sinnes
.
I
here
obserue
,
Oh
that
mine
head
were
full
of
water
,
and
mine
eyes
a
fountaine
of
teares
,
that
I
might
weepe
day
and
night
,
for
the
maimes
and
wounds
that
sinne
hath
made
in
my
soule
,
whereby
I
haue
prouoked
the
wrath
of
my
louing
God
,
and
stand
in
daunger
of
eternall
damnation
.
If
the
Israelites
in
the
captiuitie
of
Babell
sate
and
wept
by
the
riuers
side
,
Chaldean
,
Babilonian
,
Shall
the
Sonne
of
God
himselfe
weepe
,
foreseeing
the
extreame
miserie
that
sinne
bringeth
vppon
the
wicked
,
and
shall
the
heart
of
Man
(
whome
this
onely
concerneth
)
bee
so
hard
and
insensible
,
as
not
to
shead
one
teare
of
contrition
for
his
sinnes
?
Oh
that
wee
would
consider
the
grieuousnes
of
sinne
,
and
the
plagues
which
God
hath
in
store
for
the
same
,
we
would
then
tremble
and
feare
,
and
seeke
by
repentance
to
be
reconciled
vnto
God
;
we
would
then
chose
rather
to
be
an
other
Heraclitus
in
weeping
and
lamenting
for
our
sinnes
,
Oh
that
men
would
remember
,
and
with
a
feeling
heart
consider
the
torments
that
God
hath
reserued
for
the
wicked
;
I
then
perswade
my self
that
vaine
delights
would
haue
no
place
in
your
hearts
.
Surely
(
beloued
,
)
when
in
the
secrete
silence
of
my
soule
I
meditate
hereupon
,
This
may
well
bee
called
(
according
to
the
Greek
Adage
)
Bardónios
yélos
,
the
laughter
of
a
mad
man
:
Aiánteos
yélos
,
Aiax
his
deadly
laughter
.
But
truely
it
is
to
be
lamented
,
yea
,
with
a
Torrent
of
teares
to
be
bewailed
,
that
the
subiect
of
our
sorrowe
is
commonly
the
losse
of
temporal
things
.
Many
bewaile
the
losse
of
the
Creature
,
but
fewe
of
the
Creator
of
all
.
One
lamenteth
the
losse
of
his
transitorie
goods
,
Samuell
,
Honour
me
I
pray
thee
,
before
the
Elders
of
my
people
,
and
before
Israel
.
But
all
this
sorrowe
is
vaine
and
vnprofitable
:
For
though
wee
powre
out
teares
in
neuer
so
great
abundance
for
the
losse
of
Parents
,
Children
,
Friendes
,
or
Riches
,
are
they
to
any
purpose
at
all
?
Tell
me
,
if
anie
hauing
sore
Eyes
,
If
wee
highly
esteeme
of
the
Waters
of
Hearbs
and
Flowers
,
which
are
approoued
for
the
curing
of
diuers
diseases
,
&
wounds
of
the
body
:
why
do
we
not
more
esteeme
of
the
Teares
of
contrition
,
more
precious
then
any
Balsamum
,
for
the
curing
of
the
Woundes
and
Vlcers
of
the
soule
?
Euen
as
when
an
house
is
on
fire
,
they
that
would
quenche
it
,
haue
their
refuge
vnto
the
waters
:
This
profitable
sorrow
,
vpon
the
considerations
of
their
sinnes
,
was
well
knowne
to
the
Saints
of
God
,
as
it
appeareth
by
the
frequent
vse
thereof
,
which
in
Dauid
flo●ed
,
with
so
plentifull
a
streame
,
that
he
saide
I
cause
my
Bed
euery
night
to
swimme
,
&
water
my
Couche
with
my
Teares
.
Againe
,
My
Teares
haue
beene
my
meate
Day
and
Night
.
Oh
that
God
would
lighten
our
mindes
with
the
beames
of
his
holy
spirite
,
that
we
might
see
the
filthines
of
sinne
,
&
the
danger
of
the
sinner
:
As
a
wayfaring
man
,
that
in
a
darksome
night
resteth
his
weary
limbs
in
a
Caue
full
of
Serpents
,
and
sweetely
taketh
his
rest
mistrusting
no
danger
:
if
one
should
come
in
with
a
Torche
burning
,
that
hee
might
see
the
hideous
filthie
Serpents
hissing
and
crawling
about
him
,
he
would
presently
start
vp
,
and
take
small
delight
to
stay
in
that
place
:
So
(
if
God
of
his
mercie
,
)
would
inlighten
our
hearts
with
the
beames
of
his
Grace
,
that
we
might
see
the
filthy
and
vgly
face
of
sinne
,
we
would
not
endure
the
filthines
thereof
.
In
that
our
Sauiour
wepte
in
the
midst
of
the
Honours
,
Ioy
,
and
applause
of
the
multitude
,
wherewith
they
receiued
him
into
the
Citie
:
We
are
taught
to
contemne
the
vaine
ioyes
and
pleasures
of
the
world
,
Extrema
gaudij
Luctus
occupat
:
The
ende
of
that
mirth
is
heauinesse
.
Miscentur
tristia
laetis
.
For
what
else
are
the
vaine
pleasures
,
honours
,
and
delights
of
the
World
?
but
as
one
saieth
,
Spuma
,
Fumus
,
Somnium
:
A
Froth
,
Here
we
haue
in
the
Sonne
of
God
himselfe
,
And
surely
it
is
wonderfull
to
see
the
subtilty
of
this
Iugling
Impostor
:
for
though
the
glory
of
the
World
be
most
fraile
,
fleeting
,
and
short
,
deceitfull
,
and
momentany
:
Yet
this
pernitious
Painter
so
disguiseth
it
with
delightsome
and
Artificiall
colours
,
that
men
doubt
not
to
vndergoe
all
extreamities
,
to
leaue
no
sinne
vnpractised
,
that
they
may
obtaine
worldly
glorie
.
Here
the
Diuell
seemeth
to
me
,
to
be
like
an
Excellent
Mathematician
,
which
through
skill
of
his
Arte
Perspectiue
,
draweth
certaine
lines
in
a
Table
,
with
such
proportion
and
cunning
,
that
it
seemeth
to
be
the
trueth
of
the
thing
it selfe
:
and
if
thou
●ooke
through
his
Geometrical
Instrument
(
called
Dioptra
,
For
when
the
glorie
of
this
World
is
a
●hing
so
vaine
and
vanishing
,
he
delinea●eth
,
and
painteth
it
,
with
such
disguises
and
shadowes
vnto
the
Eyes
of
worldlings
,
that
●t
seemeth
most
amiable
and
pleasant
vnto
●hem
,
that
being
carried
away
with
the
desires
thereof
,
they
should
loose
their
owne
soules
,
and
vilely
esteeme
of
whatsoeuer
GOD
hath
promised
to
his
faithfull
Seruants
.
We
need
not
search
farre
for
examples
:
behold
the
great
honour
the
world
here
gaue
to
Christ
,
and
we
shall
see
the
fallacie
●hereof
,
which
S.
Bernard
well
obserued
,
S.
Bernard
.
Oh
how
soone
had
they
chaunged
their
voyces
?
What
a
difference
is
there
betwixt
this
,
Blessed
is
hee
that
commeth
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
Hosannah
in
the
highest
:
And
this
,
a
fewe
dayes
after
,
Away
with
him
,
Crucifi●
him
.
Now
the
King
of
Israel
:
And
a
little
while
after
,
Wee
haue
no
King
but
Caesar
:
What
a
difference
was
there
betweene
the
greene
branches
of
the
Palme
,
and
Oliue
Trees
,
and
shortly
after
,
Thornes
,
Scourges
,
and
the
Crosse
?
Whome
now
they
honoured
with
their
Garments
spredde
in
the
way
:
A
fewe
dayes
after
,
they
dispoyled
him
of
his
owne
Garments
.
To
Day
the
Sonne
of
God
:
To
morrow
,
A
wicked
man
,
lesse
worthy
of
life
then
Barabas
,
a
Theefe
,
a
Murtherer
?
who
would
now
trust
this
deceitfull
world
?
This
is
the
loue
and
friendship
of
the
world
(
as
one
wisely
meditateth
:
Egiptian
Goddesse
,
had
many
bowed
knees
,
yet
not
to
the
beast
,
but
to
the
burthen
:
for
separate
the
riches
from
the
person
,
and
thou
shalt
see
friendship
leaue
the
man
,
and
follow
that
which
was
euer
her
obiect
:
while
he
may
commaund
,
and
can
either
giue
or
controll
,
he
hath
attendance
and
proffer
of
loue
at
all
hands
:
but
which
of
these
dare
acknowledge
him
when
he
is
going
into
prison
for
debt
?
Then
these
waspes
which
make
such
musicke
about
this
Gally-pot
,
shewe
plainely
that
they
came
for
the
honie
that
was
in
it
.
This
is
the
miserie
of
the
wealthie
,
that
they
cannot
knowe
their
friends
;
whereas
those
that
loue
the
poore
man
,
loueth
him
for
himselfe
.
He
that
would
chuse
a
true
friend
,
must
search
out
one
that
is
neither
couetous
nor
ambitious
:
for
such
a
one
loues
but
himselfe
in
thee
.
And
if
it
be
very
rare
to
finde
any
not
infected
with
these
qualities
,
the
best
way
is
,
to
entertaine
all
,
and
to
trust
fewe
.
May
we
not
iustly
reproue
the
follie
of
greedie
worldlings
,
with
these
words
of
the
Prophet
,
Wherefore
do
ye
lay
out
siluer
,
and
not
for
bread
?
and
your
labour
without
being
satisfied
?
What
would
you
say
of
that
man
,
who
in
the
time
of
famine
,
when
for
want
of
foode
he
is
euen
hunger-starued
,
a
thing
of
nothing
as
wise
Salomon
saith
Wilt
thou
cast
thine
eyes
,
vpon
it
which
is
nothing
?
for
riches
taketh
her
to
her
wings
,
as
an
Eagle
,
&
flieth
into
the
heauen
.
What
is
this
else
but
to
weaue
the
Spiders
webbe
,
as
the
Prophet
truly
tearmeth
it
?
they
conceiue
mischiefe
,
and
bring
forth
iniquitie
.
They
hatch
Cockatrice
egges
,
and
weaue
the
Spider
webbe
:
Such
as
is
the
conception
,
such
must
needes
be
the
birth
.
The
conception
of
sinne
,
They
hatch
the
Cockatrice
egges
:
from
whence
commeth
forth
the
Regulus
or
Cockatrice
,
They
weaue
the
Spiders
webbe
.
Which
serueth
to
no
purpose
,
there
can
no
garment
be
made
thereof
,
with
what
labour
and
diligence
doth
the
spider
euen
euiserate
her selfe
to
finish
her
worke
,
and
to
what
purpose
is
all
this
?
to
catch
a
flie
:
but
before
she
hath
had
any
fruit
of
her
labour
,
commeth
a
maide
with
her
broome
,
sweepeth
downe
the
web
,
and
killeth
the
Spider
.
Here
ye
see
elegantly
expressed
,
the
labour
,
exercises
,
and
desires
of
the
sinner
,
in
which
he
spendeth
himselfe
,
and
consumeth
his
life
,
and
all
is
but
a
Spiders
web
.
What
cogitations
doth
the
worldling
reuolue
in
his
minde
,
what
meanes
doth
he
deuise
that
he
may
enioy
his
pleasures
and
delights
?
How
many
labours
and
sweates
doe
his
riches
?
How
many
anxieties
and
cares
doe
his
delights
?
How
many
troubles
and
vexations
doe
his
pleasures
bring
with
them
?
But
to
what
ende
doe
they
weaue
these
perplexed
webbes
▪
but
to
catch
flies
?
But
suppose
the
things
of
this
world
were
solide
,
certaine
and
constant
,
yet
what
can
the
goods
thereof
profit
vs
in
the
time
of
our
greatest
necessitie
,
at
the
houre
of
death
,
and
time
of
giuing
account
?
What
profit
,
I
say
,
then
will
those
Idolls
bring
vs
,
which
all
our
life
long
we
haue
worshipped
?
as
are
all
these
things
,
in
which
we
repose
and
place
our
hope
and
felicitie
.
Then
but
too
late
the
vanitie
and
deceit
of
all
those
things
which
we
so
much
esteeme
will
appeare
.
The
couetous
man
(
as
one
pithily
writeth
)
is
like
a
Spider
,
as
in
this
,
Thirdly
,
by
this
example
of
Christ
,
we
are
taught
to
bewaile
the
sinnes
of
others
,
and
to
haue
a
feeling
of
their
miseries
.
The
offences
then
of
our
brethren
are
not
to
be
iested
at
,
but
to
be
lamented
,
if
we
be
Christians
indeed
:
which
not
onely
the
example
of
our
Sauiour
in
this
place
,
but
also
of
all
holy
men
and
Saints
of
God
may
teach
vs
.
We
reade
that
Moses
and
the
people
,
wept
before
the
doore
of
the
tabernacle
for
the
sinnes
of
their
brethren
and
children
,
wherewith
they
had
offended
the
Lord
:
So
the
Apostle
,
bewailed
many
that
had
sinned
,
3
18.
&
19.
and
had
not
repented
of
the
vncleannesse
,
and
fornication
,
and
wantonnes
,
which
they
had
committed
.
And
again
:
He
wept
for
them
that
were
enemies
of
the
Crosse
of
Christ
,
whose
ende
is
damnation
,
whose
God
is
their
belly
,
&c.
And
againe
,
he
saith
:
That
he
ceased
not
to
warne
euery
one
night
and
day
with
teares
.
The
like
we
reade
of
Ieremy
,
Iob
,
and
the
rest
of
Gods
children
of
Dauid
,
Mine
eyes
gush
out
with
riuers
of
waters
,
because
they
keepe
not
thy
lawe
.
But
ô
good
God
,
(
I
speake
it
with
compunction
of
heart
)
how
many
are
there
now
found
,
which
take
no
greater
delight
then
to
cause
others
to
sinne
,
and
to
heare
of
the
infirmities
of
their
neighbours
.
Of
this
sort
are
they
which
(
as
the
very
agents
for
the
diuell
)
take
pleasure
to
make
their
brother
sin
in
drunkennes
,
and
make
themselues
merrie
therewith
:
but
let
such
knowe
,
woe
denounced
by
the
Prophet
perteineth
to
them
:
Woe
be
vnto
him
that
giueth
his
neighbour
drinke
,
and
maketh
him
drunken
,
&c.
Fourthly
,
here
we
haue
a
notable
testimonie
of
these
two
attributes
in
God
,
Mercy
,
and
Iustice
:
an
excellent
mirrour
for
Magistrates
,
that
if
in
Iustice
they
be
compelled
to
punish
a
malefactor
,
yet
in
the
midst
of
Iustice
,
mercy
and
clemencie
should
shine
forth
:
which
here
appeareth
in
this
sweete
Sauiour
,
who
though
in
short
time
after
he
was
to
inflict
,
most
horrible
plagues
,
and
finall
destruction
vpon
this
incorrigible
and
sinfull
nation
,
yet
he
shed
most
mercifull
and
compassionate
teares
for
their
transgressions
:
for
otherwise
Iustice
looseth
suumesse
,
the
propertie
of
Iustice
,
and
is
conuerted
into
tyrannie
,
if
it
be
done
with
delight
,
&
be
not
tempered
with
mercy
.
Marcus
Marcellus
,
who
being
now
readie
to
inuade
and
repunge
the
gallant
citie
of
Siracusa
,
gate
him
vp
into
a
high
Tower
to
behold
the
euent
of
the
battell
,
The
ancient
Romanes
(
for
in
later
time
they
were
more
corrupt
)
shall
rise
in
iudgement
against
all
cruell
and
merciles
Magistrates
,
which
are
touched
with
no
Christian
commiseration
:
Titus
Flam
:
amongst
them
,
was
put
out
of
his
office
and
disgraded
,
for
that
he
caused
a
man
which
was
before
condemned
to
be
hanged
in
his
Parlour

a
mans
life
is
not
a
matter
to
be
plaied
with
,
or
iested

Pars
Secunda

O
that
thou
haddest
euen
knowne
at
the
least
in
this
thy
day
,
those
things
which
belong
vnto
thy
peace
!
&c.
HEre
our
Sauiour
amplifieth
the
affirmation
O
if
thou
haddest
euen
knowne
,
&c.
These
words
expresse
a
passion
proceeding
of
sorrow
,
which
if
it
be
vehement
,
is
wont
to
interrupt
and
cut
off
some
words
which
should
make
vp
and
finish
the
speech
:
This
figure
is
vsuall
among
the
Rhetoritians
,
and
is
called
in
Greeke
Aposiopesis
,
O
if
thou
haddest
euen
knowne
&c.
is
to
be
vnderstood
,
how
happie
&
blessed
haddest
thou
bene
?
O
Ierusalem
,
if
thou
haddest
knowne
the
things
that
belong
vnto
thy
true
peace
,
as
thou
art
wholy
intent
,
to
this
supposed
,
false
and
transitorie
peace
,
which
now
maketh
thee
secure
,
ô
then
how
happie
haddest
thou
bene
,
thou
wouldest
then
foresee
thy
imminent
destruction
for
thy
sinnes
,
and
betake
thee
to
repentance
and
teares
,
whereas
now
thou
reioycest
;
that
thou
mightest
indeed
procure
thy
true
peace
and
safetie
.
O
if
thou
haddest
knowne
:
to
wit
,
the
ruine
which
hangeth
ouer
thy
head
,
or
me
thy
Redeemer
,
who
am
come
so
graciously
to
visite
thee
,
thou
wouldest
then
weepe
&
bewaile
thy
grieuous
sins
wherewith
thou
hast
incensed
the
wrath
of
God
against
thee
,
whereas
now
thou
flatterest
thy selfe
with
vaine
ioy
,
as
if
all
things
went
well
with
thee
.
By
the
word
[
peace
]
among
the
Hebrewes
is
signified
,
not
one
singular
good
,
but
all
good
things
which
the
Son
of
God
brought
with
him
into
the
world
:
for
at
his
comming
,
the
cateracts
of
heauen
were
opened
,
and
a
plentifull
showre
of
all
graces
powred
downe
on
the
earth
,
the
first
fruits
thereof
the
Lord
first
offered
most
gratiously
vnto
●he
people
of
the
Iewes
,
to
whom
he
was
●romised
,
whom
he
sought
to
illuminate
●ith
his
doctrine
,
to
confirme
in
the
faith
●ith
his
miracles
,
to
kindle
their
loue
with
●is
benefits
,
to
erect
them
in
the
hope
of
●mmortalitie
with
his
merites
,
with
the
ex●mples
of
his
vertues
to
allure
them
to
●ollow
him
,
with
the
maiestie
of
his
pre●ence
to
grace
them
,
and
lastly
to
aduance
●hem
into
his
heauenly
kingdome
.
These
●re
the
things
which
they
ought
to
haue
●cknowledged
,
the
want
whereof
the
Lord
●ere
bewaileth
.
First
,
in
that
aboue
all
things
the
Lord
wisheth
vnto
them
the
knowledge
of
the
present
good
,
and
future
euill
,
we
are
to
obserue
,
how
great
and
fearefull
is
the
careles
ignorance
of
men
,
safetie
:
then
shall
suddaine
destruction
come
vpon
him
,
as
trauaile
vpon
a
woman
with
childe
,
and
he
shall
not
escape
.
For
as
oftentimes
suddaine
trauaile
commeth
vpon
a
woman
with
childe
:
tarditatem
,
vindictae
grauitate
compensare
,
the
peruerse
soule
being
wholy
intente
to
things
present
,
and
resolued
in
earthly
pleasures
,
abscondit
sibi
mala
sequentia
,
hideth
from
himselfe
the
dangers
following
,
and
refuseth
to
foresee
the
euills
to
come
,
least
they
should
disturbe
his
present
mirth
:
but
whiles
he
walloweth
in
worldly
delights
,
what
doth
he
else
but
,
clausis
oculis
ad
ignem
vadere
?
goe
blindfolde
to
hell
fire
?
saith
he
.
Least
this
forgetfulnes
should
possesse
our
mindes
,
the
Apostle
counsaileth
,
that
they
that
reioyce
,
should
be
as
if
they
reioyced
not
:
that
is
,
as
Gregorie
expoundeth
it
,
praesentis
temporis
it
a
agenda
laetitia
,
vt
amaritudo
sequent
is
iudicij
nunquam
recedat

The
mirth
and
pleasure
of
this
present
time
are
so
to
be
passed
,
that
the
bitternes
of
the
future
iudgement
,
neuer
depart
from
our
mindes
.
In
thy
good
estate
remember
aduersitie
,
viri
diuitiarum
dormierunt
somnum
suum
,
rich
men

slept
their
sleepe
,
euen
in
death
they
finde
they
were
deluded
with
meere
shewes
,
and
shadowes
without
substance
,
and
for
these
momentaine
pleasures
to
be
plunged
in
the
infernall
flames
,
for
euer
to
be
tormented
.
being
in
honour
hath
no
vnderstanding
,
he
will
not
knowe
the
things
which
belong
vnto
his
true
peace
,
euen
like
the
fagiuated
beastes
,
which
are
to
day
in
the
pasture
,
to
morrow
in
the
shambles
.
O
that
we
would
learne
to
knowe
the
things
that
pertaine
to
our
true
peace
.
Christ
leaues
God
his
Father
,
heauen
his
countrey
,
the
Angells
his
people
,
to
dwell
with
vs
,
but
we
scarce
allowe
him
the
stable
,
there
is
no
roome
for
him
in
the
Inne
.
Pride
hath
taken
the
chiefest
place
in
the
hart
:
malice
and
enuie
the
next
in
the
minde
:
lust
hath
possession
of
the
eyes
,
lying
and
swearing
of
the
tongue
,
gluttonie
of
the
taste
,
theft
and
murther
of
the
handes
,
and
couetousnes
of
our
thoughts
.
When
the
Assises
are
at
hand
,
and
the
Iudge
comming
,
how
circumspect
are
we
that
our
trialls
may
passe
on
our
side
?
What
instructing
of
our
counsaile
?
seeing
of
our
Lawyers
?
informing
of
the
quest
?
but
Christ
is
at
hand
,
his
day
is
nigh
,
his
seate
prepared
.
O
then
that
we
did
know
the
things
that
pertaine
vnto
our
peace
at
that
day
,
ô
that
we
would
see
and
preuent
the
future
danger
.
Mans
corrupt
nature
is
commonly
most
careles
,
when
he
should
be
most
carefull
:
and
the
wicked
most
secure
,
when
they
are
most
in
danger
:
most
negligent
,
when
they
should
be
most
prouident
.
The
day
of
the
Lord
shall
come
as
a
thiefe
in
the
night
:
Apó
tou
caloptein
,
of
hiding
or
couering
,
or
Cléptein
,
to
take
away
by
stealth
,
he
commeth
in
the
darke
where
no
body
sees
,
he
treadeth
vpon
wooll
,
when
no
body
heares
,
he
watcheth
an
houre
which
no
bodie
knowes
.
If
the
good
man
of

house
had
knowne
at
what
houre
,
the
thiefe
would
come
,
he
would
surely
watch

saith
our
Sauiour
;
but
we
knowe
that
Christs
day
will
come
,
and
yet
keepe
no
ward
:
carefull
of
our

,
careles
of

Our

Holy
Ieremie
bewayling
the
calamitie
of
his
people
saith
,
Her
filthines
is
in
her
skirts
,
she
remembred
not
her
last
ende
,
and
therefore
she
came
downe
wonderfully
.
This
[
beloued
]
is
the
fatall
disease
of
all
sinners
,
and
their
wretched
illusion
,
they
forget
their
ende
,
they
take
sinne
by
the
head
,
and
not
by
the
taile
,
they
consider
the
beginning
of
their
pleasure
,
which
sheweth
them
a
faire
face
;
but
they
thinke
not
of
the
ende
which
concludeth
the
Catastrophe
in
extreame
miserie
.
And
what
(
I
pray
you
)
is
this
world
,
which
so
blindeth
vs
that
we
neuer
thinke
on
the
future
time
,
and
refuse
to
knowe
the
things
that
pertaine
in
this
our
day
,
vnto
our
peace
?
surely
it
may
be
compared
vnto
an
hollowe
nut
,
Apples
of
Sodome
,
which
haue
nothing
within
but
a
filthie
worme
and
rottennes
:
looke
into
the
world
,
and
you
shall
finde
nothing
but
vanities
;
pleasures
are
but
forerunners
of
destruction
;
this
life
is
a
channell
,
the
sweet
Riuers
do
alwaies
runne
and
ende
in
the
salte
sea
and
bitter
waters
:
breue
est
quod
delectat
,
aeternum
quod
excruciat
,
short
pleasures
,
long
paine
:
this
is
the
ende
of
the
world
and
worldlings
:
a
golden
head
,
but
earthen
feete
,
like
Nabuchadonezers
Image
,
vaine
ioyes
ende
with
mourning
,
as
Herods
ioy
was
consumed
of
wormes
;
fauour
deceitfull
,
beautie
vanitie
,
and
corruption
our
mother
:
And
shall
this
deceitfull
world
make
vs
forget
the
things
which
belong
vnto
our
true
peace
?
O
that
we
did
knowe
at
the
least
in
this
our
day
,
the
things
that
belong
vnto
our
peace
!
As
Iacob
when
he
was
borne
,
held
Esau
by
the
heele
:
So
the
godly
considereth
sinne
by
the
ende
thereof
.
O
that
they
were
wise
,
then
would
they
vnderstand
this
,
they
would
consider
their
latter
ende
,
saith
holy
Moses
.
It
is
worthie
the
noting
,
that
Christ
calleth
all
the
pleasures
of
this
life
but
one
day
:
Euen
in
this
thy
day
.
For
the
wicked
haue
but
their
day
,
but
Gods
Iustice
hath
many
daies
:
and
therefore
he
saith
afterward
,
For
the
daies
will
come
vpon
thee
:
that
thine
enemies
shall
cast
a
trench
about
thee
,
and
therefore
he
said
vnto
the
Iewes
,
this
is
your
very
houre
:
Euen
as
the
fire
according
vnto
the
nature
of
the
subiect
on
which
it
worketh
,
endureth
either
a
short
or
a
longer
time
,
as
that
which
is
made
with
firme
O●e
continueth
long
,
and
that
which
feedeth
vpon
strawe
quickely
goeth
out
:
so
the
ioyes
,
pleasures
and
honours
of
this
life
,
because
the
matter
thereof
,
is
fluid
,
caduce
,
and
fraile
,
soone
vanisheth
away
,
but
that
which
is
fixed
on
the
soliditie
of
vertue
and
godlines
,
endureth
for
euer
.
Plinie
reporteth
,
Quaeritat
incertam
(
tanta
est
obliuio
)
praedom
.
Forgetting
still
his
present
pray
.
Vncertaine
hopes
he
seekes
alway
.
So
obtuse
and
dull
is
his
memorie
.
Like
vnto
him
are
they
,
which
being
delighted
with
the
present
pleasures
of
this
life
,
they
altogether
forget
their
first
loue
,
and
the
doctrine
of
heauenly
things
which
they
had
learned
,
and
pursue
vaine
and
vncertaine
pleasures
.
We
haue
here
a
most
sweete
and
comfortable
testimonie
of
the
inspeakeable
loue
willing
the
death
of
a
sinner
,
but
rather
that
he
conuert
and
line
:
that
he
doth
not
onely
lament
their
imminent
destruction
,
and
wish
the
conuertion
of
the
wicked
,
but
patiently
expecteth
their
amendment
.
He
is
patient
towards
vs
,
and
would
haue
no
man
to
perish
,
but
would
haue
all
men
to
come
to
repentance
:
for
the
Lord
is
patient
,
slowe
to
anger
,
and
abundant
in
goodnes
and
truth
,
Reseruing
mercie
for
thousands
,
forgiuing
iniquitie
,
transgression
and
sinne
:
not
that
he
hates
not
iniquitie
,
but
that
he
awaites
our
amendment
.
Fortie
daies

to
Niniuie

to
Nabuch●donezer
twelue

three

to
the

which
leadeth

We
are
long
in
building
an

,
but
quicke
in

But
God
is
quicke
in
building
vp
,
and
slowe
in
pulling
downe
:
he
sets
vp
in
power
,
The
vse
of
all
this
is
:
and
long

of
God
leadeth
vs
to

,
In

It
is
to
be

the

,
we
are
so
slacke
in

.

It
is

Our

(

do

&
are

Impenitent
Sathan

All

,
all

shall

began
here
in
the

on

conuicted

and
consumnate
on
the
partie
condemned
for
euer
to

.
Here
are
Alastores
of
Alastêin
tormentors
for
Nero
:
O
beloued
,
if
Ierusalem
had
repented
in
that
her
day
,
she
had
then
knowne
the
things
that
pertained
to
her
peace
,
then
would
the
Sauiour
haue
reioyced
,
and
not
haue
vttered
this
sorrowfull
Threnodiam
,
whiles
they
sang
Hosanna
:
O
if
thou
haddest
knowne
the
things
that
pertaine
vnto
thy
peace
.
I
would
here
haue
ended
,
in
this
thy
day
.
He
calles
this
their
day
,
wherein
the
Sauiour
of
the
world
,
offered
them
so
louingly
his
grace
,
and
saluation
,
their
true
,
and
eternall
peace
:
which
if
they
had
embraced
,
then
had
not
the
Romanes
sacked
their
citie
.
Here
obserue
,
But
the
wicked
maketh
it
his
owne
day
,
for
he
abuseth
the
whole
time
of
his
life
,
to
pleasure
lust
,
gluttonie
,
&c
and
why
?
Because
these
things
are
hidden
from
thine
eyes
.
They
put
farre
from
them
the
euill
day
,
and
approach
to
the
seate
of
iniquitie
.
Because
sentence
against
an
euill
worke
is
not
executed
speedily
,
therefore
the
hearts
of
the
children
of
men
are
fully
set
to
doe
euill
.
But
let
vs
(
my
deare
brethren
)
betime
remember
the
euill
day
,
and
knowe
the
things
that
pertaine
vnto
our
peace
;
Seeke
the
Lord
while
he
may
be
found
,
call
vpon
him
while
he
is
nigh
.
The
time
was
when
Esau
had
a
birth-right
,
Diues
pleasure
,
Ierusalem
peace
,
and
the
foolish
Virgins
might
haue
entered
.
Now
is
the
time
that
peace
is
offered
,
repentance
preached
,
&
heauen
gates
are
opened
,
The
time
wil
come
,
(
if
we
despise
the
patience
of
the
Lord
)
that
we
shall
pray
with
Diues
and
not
be
heard
:
weepe
with
Esau
,
&
not
be
pittied
:
knocke
with
the
fiue
Virgins
,
&
the
doore
not
opened
.
The
Storke
,
the
Crane
,
the
Turtle
,
the
Swallow
,
knowe
their
appointed
time
.
And
shall
we
be
more
ignorant
in
the
things
,
that
pertaine
to
our
peace
,
then
the
very
foules
?
A
traueller
being
being
tolde
of
a
Lyon
in
the
way
,
will
stay
his
iourney
:
a
blinde
man
hauing
notice
of
a
Serpent
in
the
path
,
will
refraine
his
walking
.
Sathan
is
a
roaring
Lyon
,
and
shall
we
goe
forward
in
vngodlines
?
sinne
is
a
stinging
Serpent
,
and
shall
we
goe
on
still
in
wickednes
?
O
then
,
while
this
our
day
lasteth
,
while
Christs
hands
are
opened
,
and
the
doore
of
mercy
not
shut
,
let
vs
aske
,
and
he
will
giue
vs
:
let
vs
goe
to
him
,
and
he
will
saue
vs
:
in
futuro
salum
remuneratio
,
&
condemnatio
,
after
this
life
there
is
either
reward
or
punishment
:
saluation
to
the
godly
,
destruction
to
the
wicked
.
Thus
much
for
the
first
impulsiue
cause
of
Christs
weeping
ouer
Ierusalem
,
Namely
,
the
present
euill
which
he
sawe
among
them
,
which
concerned
their
mindes
,
and
was
the
cause
of
all
their
miserie
:
the
blindnes
of
their
mindes
,
because
they
would
not
knowe
,
in
this
their
day
,
those
things
which
belonged
vnto
their
peace
.
The
other
(
as
I
said
before
)
was
the
future
euill
which
pertained
vnto
their
bodies
;
For
the
daies
shal
come
vpon
thee
,
that
thine
enemies
shall
cast
〈◊〉
trench
about
thee
,
and
compasse
thee
round
,
●nd
keepe
thee
in
on
euery
side
.
Lastly
,
he
declareth
the
same
by
the
impulsiue
cause
which
mooued
the
Lord
thereunto
,
name●y
their
ingratitude
towards
the
gratious
visitation
of
God
,
because
thou
knowest
not
the
time
of
thy
visitation
.
There
was
neuer
any
Nation
vnder
the
sunne
,
whose
misery
,
calamitie
,
&
destruction
was
so
great
and
horrible
,
Iewish
Nation
,
as
Iosephus
himselfe
being
a
Iewe
and
in
the
citie
at
that
very
time
,
and
therefore
testis
oculatus
,
an
eye
witnes
of
all
their
miseries
,
doth
affirme
.
And
also
Egesippus
,
who
liued
in
the
Apostles
time
,
hath
committed
to
writing
,
and
to
this
very
day
the
wrath
of
God
pursueth
them
,
as
their
miserable
dispertion
and
persecution
through
the
whole
world
doth
manifest
,
in
the
time
of
the
siege
the
famine
was
so
great
,
that
dogges
,
cattes
,
and
mise
,
were
eaten
,
yea
one
deuoured
an
others
vomit
,
and
(
which
I
tremble
to
speake
)
women
did
kill
,
dresse
,
and
greedily
deuour
,
their
owne
children
,
the
extremitie
of
famine
vtterly
abolishing
all
motherly
compassion
and
nature
:
eleuen
hundred
thousand
perished
by
famine
,
sword
,
and
pestilence
,
and
ninetie
seuen
thousand
,
after
the
destruction
of
the
citie
,
were
carried
away
into
miserable
captiuitie
.
Was
euer
the
like
masacrie
heard
of
since
the
vniuersall
flood
wherein
the
whole
world
,
(
Noah
and
his
company
onely
excepted
)
perished
by
water
?
What
a
fearefull
example
of
his
iustice
,
hatred
,
and
seueritie
against
sinne
,
did
God
shew
in
this
horrible
vastation
of
that
citie
?
But
how
great
also
was
his
pietie
and
mercy
,
in
that
so
long
before
he
foretolde
and
bewailed
,
with
bitter
teares
,
this
memorable
desolation
?
We
reade
that
Christ
wept
for
three
causes
,
and
at
three
seuerall
times
.
First
,
he
wept
for
to
confirme
our
hope
and
confidence
in
his
mercy
,
when
we
consider
that
these
compassionate
teares
of
our
Sauiour
,
flowed
from
his
intire
mercy
and
loue
.
Secondly
,
he
wept
,
that
he
might
mollifie
our
stonie
hearts
,
to
relent
for
our
sinnes
,
and
to
teach
vs
to
bewaile
our
owne
miseries
.
Thirdly
,
he
wept
,
to
instruct
vs
,
when
is
the
due
time
of
weeping
:
which
is
,
when
we
feele
our
conscience
most
secure
in
our
sinnes
,
At
three
sundrie
times
also
we
reade
that
he
wept
.
1
First
at
the
raising
vp
of
Lazarus
,
where
he
bewailed
mans
incredulitie
,
and
conscience
dead
in
sinne
,
which
custome
hath
brought
to
such
an
obstinate
habite
,
that
neither
his
threatnings
may
awake
,
nor
his
sweete
promises
rowse
them
vp
out
of
this
deadly
lethargie
.
2
Secondly
,
vpon
the
Crosse
,
where
with
strong
crying
and
teares
,
3
And
thirdly
,
here
ouer
Ierusalem
,
a
little
before
his
passion
,
where
he
bewailed
not
so
much
his
imminent
death
,
as
the
future
desolation
of
that
Nation
.
Which
he
plainly
signified
vnto
the
woman
that
bewailed
and
lamented
him
,
when
he
said
:
Ye
daughters
of
Ierusalem
,
weepe
not
for
me
,
but
weepe
for
your selues
and
for
your
children
.
For
behold
the
daies
will
come
,
when
men
shall
say
,
blessed
are
the
barraine
&
the
wombs
that
neuer
bare
,
&
the
paps
that
neuer
gaue
sucke
.
Which
words
no
doubt
the
woman
vttered
at
the
siege
of
the
citie
,
when
the
famine
was
so
great
,
that
casting
off
the
sence
of
nature
,
they
killed
and
deuoured
their
owne
children
.
But
as
here
we
may
behold
the
seueritie
of
Gods
iustice
,
and
the
poysoned
nature
of
sinne
;
So
in
this
his
vengeance
we
may
see
the
sparkles
of
his
mercy
to
shine
forth
:
for
he
gaue
to
this
sinfull
citie
,
fortie
yeares
space
of
repentance
,
that
they
might
bewaile
their
sinnes
which
had
so
kindled
the
wrath
of
God
against
them
,
in
which
space
also
he
shewed
many
straunge
signes
and
wonders
among
them
,
(
as
Iosephus
reporteth
who
liued
in
those
daies
,
)
that
by
putting
them
in
minde
that
the
fire
of
his
wrath
was
kindled
,
and
his
sword
readie
drawne
,
to
strike
them
,
he
might
call
them
to
repentance
:
for
it
was
full
fortie
yeares
,
or
as
some
say
,
fortie
two
after
his
assention
,
before
Vespatians
the
Emperour
of
Rome
,
Therefore
the
Lord
God
of
their
fathers
,
sent
to
them
by
his
messengers
rising
earlie
and
sending
:
For
he
had
compassion
on
his
people
,
and
on
his
habitation
.
But
they
mocked
the
messengers
of
God
,
despised
his
words
,
and
misused
his
Prophets
,
vntill
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
arose
against
his
people
,
and
till
there
was
no
remedie
.
For
he
brought
vpon
them
the
King
of
the
Chaldeans
,
who
slew
their
young
men
with
the
sword
in
the
house
of
their
sanctuarie
,
and
spared
neither
young
man
,
nor
Virgin
,
ancient
,
nor
aged
?
O
that
we
would
euer
haue
before
our
eyes
these
examples
of
Gods
hatred
of
sinne
,
and
the
seueritie
of
his
Iudgement
against
wicked
men
:
Surely
it
would
much
profit
vs
to
the
planting
of
that
true
feare
of
God
in
our
hearts
,
and
be
an
effectuall
medicine
against
the
dangerous
securitie
,
and
vaine
presumption
of
this
loose
and
corrupt
age
,
especially
to
represse
the
false
and
deceitfull
hope
of
many
wicked
men
,
which
running
out
the
whole
race
of
their
life
,
in
all
kinde
of
leaude
and
licentious
liuing
,
obstinately
contemning
Gods
word
,
and
despising
his
Messengers
,
and
yet
they
presume
on
Gods
mercy
and
fauour
,
and
suppose
that
all
things
shall
succeed
well
with
them
;
not
considering
,
that
in
God
there
is
not
onely
mercy
in
store
for
the
penitent
sinner
,
but
also
Iustice
to
restraine
the
insolencie
of
wicked
men
.
Was
the
Lord
then
a
seuere
reuenger
of
all
impietie
,
and
is
he
now
changed
?
doth
he
now
winke
at
our
wickednes
?
No
,
no
,
he
is
still
the
same
,
and
in
him
is
no
change
,
as
he
saith
by
his
Prophet
.
I
am
the
Lord
,
I
change
not
.
How
much
better
were
it
for
such
to
hearken
to
the
wholesome
counsaile
of
the
wise
man
:
Say
not
thou
the
mercy
of
God
is
great
,
he
will
forgiue
my
manifolde
sinnes
:
for
mercy
and
wrath
come
from
him
,
and
his
indignation
commeth
downe
vpon
sinners
.
This
dangerous
sicknes
,
I
will
labour
(
God
willing
)
in
what
I
purpose
to
speake
more
vpon
this
texte
,
to
cure
:
for
I
am
verily
perswaded
,
that
the
number
is
almost
infinite
,
of
them
that
being
deluded
with
this
deceitfull
hope
,
doe
rush
headlong
into
eternall
torments
;
Neither
is
there
any
Inginne
of
that
olde
cankered
Serpent
more
frequent
,
or
more
to
be
feared
.
And
for
the
performance
hereof
,
I
thinke
no
way
more
effectuall
,
then
by
setting
downe
some
examples
of
Gods
horrible
Iudgements
inflicted
vpon
wicked
men
,
which
being
attentiuely
considered
,
we
may
vnderstand
,
Gods
hatred
of
sin
,
that
therby
the
feare
of
God
being
entertained
in
our
hearts
,
we
may
growe
into
a
serious
detestation
of
sinne
,
the
cause
of
all
misery
in
this
life
,
and
rewarded
with
eternall
torments
in
the
life
to
come
.
And
to
passe
ouer
the
three
fearefull
torments
,
mentioned
by
S.
Peter
,
of
the
Angells
that
had
sinned
,
and
were
cast
downe
into
hell
,
and
deliuered
into
chaines
of
darkenes
,
to
be
kept
vnto
condemnation
.
Of
the
olde
world
,
of
the
vngodly
which
perished
in
the
flood
:
Of
Sodome
and
Gomorah
,
which
were
turned
into
ashes
,
and
made
an
example
,
vnto
them
which
should
after
liue
vngodly
.
What
a
iudgement
I
pray
you
,
was
that
wherewith
God
,
after
he
had
wasted
all
Egipt
with
so
many
plagues
?
Lastly
,
drowned
Pharaoh
with
his
great
hoste
in
the
red
Sea
,
What
a
Iudgement
was
that
which
a
little
while
after
God
inflicted
vpon
his
owne
people
,
What
a
Iudgement
was
that
,
which
the
Lord
layed
vpon
the
Israelites
,
for
committing
whoredome
with
the
daughters
of
Moab
,
For
which
there
died
twentie
and
foure
thousand
of
the
plague
?
But
leauing
now
,
for
breuitie
sake
,
these
punishments
common
to
many
,
let
vs
consider
how
seuerely
God
punished
King
Dauid
for
committing
adulterie
with
the
wife
of
Vri●●
▪
though
he
were
a
man
entirely
beloued
of
God
,
yet
he
winked
not
at
his
wickednes
,
but
sent
the
Prophet
Nathan
vnto
him
with
this
message
;
Wherefore
hast
thou
despised
the
commaundement
of
the
Lord
,
to
doe
euill
in
his
sight
?
thou
hast
killed
Vriah
the
Hittitie
with
the
sword
,
and
hast
taken
his
wife
to
be
thy
wife
,
and
hast
slaine
him
with
the
sword
of
the
Children
of
Ammon
.
Now
therefore
the
sword
shall
neuer
depart
from
thy
house
,
because
thou
hast
des●ised
me
,
and
taken
the
wife
of
Vriah
the
Hittite
to
be
thy
wife
.
Thus
saith
the
Lord
;
Behold
,
I
will
raise
vp
euill
against
thee
out
of
thine
owne
house
,
and
will
take
thy
wiues
before
thine
eyes
,
and
giue
them
vnto
thine
neighbour
,
and
he
shall
lie
with
thy
wiues
in
the
sight
of
this
sunne
:
For
thou
didst
it
secretly
;
but
I
will
doe
this
thing
before
all
Israel
,
and
before
the
sunne
:
and
though
the
Lord
vpon
his
peccaui
and
vnfained
repentance
,
did
put
away
his
sinne
;
So
that
he
did
not
die
,
I
am
bowed
and
crooked
very
sore
,
I
goe
mourning
all
the
day
.
I
am
weakened
and
sore
broken
.
I
roare
for
very
griefe
of
my
heart
.
Lord
I
powre
my
whole
desire
before
thee
,
and
my
sighing
is
not
hid
from
thee
.
Againe
,
how
great
was
that
sorrowe
,
I
fainted
in
my
mourning
.
I
cause
my
bedde
euery
night
to
swimme
,
and
water
my
couch
with
my
teares
.
Therefore
for
the
fewe
nights
which
he
spent
in
filthie
and
sinfull
pleasure
;
he
passed
the
rest
of
his
time
in
bitter
weeping
,
sighing
and
mourning
.
And
his
bedde
which
he
had
polluted
with
vnlawfull
lust
,
he
afterwards
washed
with
a
large
and
plentifull
flood
of
teares
.
And
what
could
be
more
to
expresse
his
serious
and
earnest
repentance
?
Notwithstanding
this
repentance
,
let
them
with
a
feeling
heart
consider
what
followed
,
which
sport
and
●est
at
this
sinne
,
and
tearme
it
but
a
tricke
of
youth
,
a
naturall
inclination
,
&c.
Though
King
Dauid
were
highly
beloued
of
God
,
as
a
man
after
his
owne
heart
,
yet
the
Lord
would
not
so
lightly
passe
ouer
his
sinnes
,
but
by
his
chastisements
and
afflictions
,
would
make
him
a
memorable
example
to
all
licentious
liuers
to
the
worlds
end
.
For
first
the
children
(
the
fruit
of
his
adulterie
)
was
striken
with
sicknes
and
died
.
2.
3.
Ammon
for
his
incest
,
4.
Absolon
raised
warre
vpon
him
,
(
ambitiously
aspiring
after
his
fathers
kingdome
,
and
conspiring
against
him
)
defiled
his
concubines
,
and
came
to
a
wofull
destruction
.
For
thou
diddest
it
secretly
,
but
I
will
doe
this
thing
before
all
Israel
.
If
God
so
grieuously
afflicted
King
Dauid
,
a
man
after
his
owne
heart
,
for
the
sinne
of
adulterie
,
and
that
after
so
great
sorrowe
and
contrition
of
heart
for
his
offences
,
Mercifull
God
,
in
what
state
doe
they
stand
,
which
make
no
conscience
of
this
sinne
?
yea
iest
at
it
,
so
farre
off
are
they
from
sorrowing
with
holy
Dauid
▪
But
let
such
by
these
examples
,
consider
the
fearefull
estate
they
are
in
,
and
Gods
heauie
wrath
hanging
ouer
their
heads
,
that
(
if
they
be
not
altogether
giuen
ouer
to
a
reprobate
sense
)
they
may
betimes
betake
themselues
to
amendment
of
life
,
labour
by
Dauids
example
,
by
serious
and
vnfained
repentance
to
be
reconciled
vnto
God
,
that
they
may
come
out
of
the
snares
of
the
Diuell
,
and
escape
the
eternall
torments
prepared
for
them
:
It
is
a
fearefull
thing
to
fall
into
the
hands
of
the
liuing
God
.
Now
(
brethren
)
these
things
are
examples
vnto
vs
(
as
the
Apostle
saith
)
That
we
should
not
lust
after
euill
things
as
they
lusted
.
For
whatsoeuer
things
are
written
aforetime
;
are
written
for
our
learning
.
These
are
but
temporarie
,
and
prefined
within
the
limits
of
this
short
life
:
the
other
eternall
,
which
neuer
shall
finde
ende
or
limit
.
If
then
this
vastation
of
Ierusalem
,
foreseene
so
long
before
,
did
drawe
teares
from
our
louing
Lord
,
with
what
teares
of
contrition
should
we
bewaile
our
sinnes
,
which
will
in
the
end
(
without
repentance
)
plunge
vs
in
eternall
torments
,
whereof
all
other
affliction
is
but
an
Image
or
shadowe
?
For
so
the
Apostle
Peter
layeth
before
vs
the
destruction
of
Sodome
and
Gomorah
,
as
an
example
of
the
eternall
punishments
prepared
for
these
which
hereafter
should
liue
vngodly
.
There
the
damned
shall
spiritually
suffer
all
these
things
which
the
Lord
here
bewaileth
,
but
after
a
diuers
manner
of
torment
.
There
all
the
rabble
of
the
wicked
shall
be
trenched
about
with
their
enemies
[
the
Diuells
]
so
that
they
shall
haue
no
euasion
to
escape
out
of
their
hands
.
There
shall
be
famine
,
sword
and
pestilence
,
that
is
,
diuers
kindes
of
torments
proceeding
from
the
order
of
Gods
Iustice
according
to
the
condition
of
euery
sinne
.
And
it
may
perhaps
haue
probabilitie
,
which
some
think
,
that
there
shall
be
diuers
kindes
of
torments
,
So
that
the
proud
and
high
minded
,
shall
there
be
deiected
and
cast
downe
full
lowe
:
the
couetous
shall
there
be
pined
with
extreame
penurie
of
all
things
.
There
the
enuious
in
rage
shall
rent
and
teare
their
owne
bowells
.
There
the
lecher
for
the
short
pleasure
of
his
vncleane
flesh
,
shall
be
tormented
with
most
bitter
tortures
.
There
the
greedie
glutton
,
who
made
his
bellie
his
God
,
shall
with
the
rich
glutton
be
tormented
with
most
cruell
hunger
and
thirst
,
and
be
denied
one
droppe
of
colde
water
to
coole
his
tongue
.
there
shall
not
be
left
one
stone
vpon
an
other
,
which
shall
not
be
throwne
downe
.
This
calamitie
also
shall
not
there
be
wanting
,
haue
giuen
their
members
,
as
weapons
of
vnrighteousnes
,
vnto
sinne
:
So
the
order
of
Gods
iustice
,
In
as
much
as
she
glorified
her selfe
and
liued
in
pleasure
,
so
much
giue
ye
to
her
torment
and
sorrowe
:
and
for
euery
member
vpon
which
the
fabricke
of
mans
body
,
(
as
an
edifice
built
with
stones
)
consisteth
,
shall
receiue
worthy
and
peculiar
punishment
.
If
then
Gods
temporal
Iudgements
in
this
life
,
which
manifest
his
hatred
of
all
iniquitie
,
should
breede
in
vs
a
detestation
of
sin
,
how
much
more
should
the
consideration
of
his
eternall
punishments
(
wherof
the
other
as
I
said
are
but
a
shadowe
,
)
be
an
effectual
remedie
against
al
vngodlines
,
&
plant
the
filiall
and
healthfull
feare
of
God
in
our
hearts
?
This
is
it
which
the
Lord
himselfe
requireth
of
vs
.
Feare
not
them
which
kill
the
body
,
but
are
not
able
to
kill
the
soule
:
but
rather
feare
him
which
is
able
to
destroy
both
body
and
soule
in
hell
.
What
hope
is
then
left
for
those
forlorne
wretches
inuironed
with
so
many
torments
?
what
will
they
doe
:
whither
will
they
flie
?
what
counsaile
will
they
take
?
will
they
flie
to
the
remedie
of
repentance
?
but
now
the
time
of
repentance
is
past
,
and
the
day
of
vengeance
is
come
;
will
they
then
seeke
for
shelter
at
Gods
mercy
,
which
is
the
onely
refuge
and
solace
in
all
miseries
?
but
this
life
onely
is
the
time
of
mercy
and
pardon
,
but
then
is
the
time
of
wrath
and
iudgement
.
Let
vs
not
(
beloued
)
suffer
the
day
of
this
life
which
God
in
his
mercy
hath
lent
vs
,
to
seeke
peace
,
pardon
,
and
reconsiliation
,
vnprofitably
to
slippe
away
,
least
the
day
of
wrath
,
vengeance
,
and
irreuocable
destruction
surprise
vs
at
vnawares
:
The
day
of
this
life
is
the
time
of
Gods
gratious
visitation
,
in
holines
and
righteousnes
all
the
daies
of
our
life
,
saith
holy
Zachariah
:
not
onely
omnibus
diebus
,
all
the
daies
;
but
omnibus
diebus
nostris
,
(
saith
a
writer
)
all
our
daies
:
for
the
time
of
this
mortall
life
is
giuen
vnto
vs
to
serue
the
Lord
in
all
holy
conuersation
,
making
prouision
for
the
life
eternall
;
for
death
will
shortly
arrest
vs
,
when
there
shal
be
no
more
place
,
nor
time
of
repentance
:
therefore
saith
our
Sauiour
;
The
night
commeth
when
none
can
worke
.
Behold
now
is
the
accepted
time
,
behold
now
is
the
day
of
saluation
.
But
to
returne
againe
to
the
words
of
the
texte
?
why
did
God
inflict
this
horrible
punishment
vpon
Ierusalem
and
the
whole
Nation
of
the
Iewes
?
The
Lord
himselfe
giueth
the
reason
:
because
thou
knewest
not
the
time
of
thy
visitation
.
The
Lord
in
his
mercy
did
many
waies
visite
them
,
both
by
prosperitie
and
aduersitie
,
as
in
part
I
haue
before
discoursed
.
And
lastly
,
visited
them
from
an
high
,
by
sending
to
them
his
onely
sonne
IESVS
CHRIST
,
who
brought
with
him
all
good
things
,
by
which
he
illuminated
them
that
sate
in
darkenes
and
in
the
shadowe
of
death
,
and
freely
offered
them
his
graces
and
saluation
.
Which
inestimable
benefits
,
they
were
so
farre
off
from
acknowledging
,
that
they
reiected
and
crucified
the
Author
of
so
great
a
saluation
,
as
their
forefathers
persecuted
all
the
Prophets
before
them
.
It
may
seeme
strange
(
will
some
say
)
that
in
the
midst
of
this
publike
ioy
and
applause
of
the
people
,
CHRIST
wept
at
his
comming
to
Ierusalem
,
which
at
any
other
time
we
neuer
reade
that
he
did
,
though
he
was
many
times
before
in
the
citie
:
the
cause
hereof
is
easily
to
be
giuen
.
The
Lord
came
at
this
time
most
louingly
to
visite
this
citie
,
and
to
performe
all
things
which
the
Prophets
foretolde
of
him
,
to
consummate
whatsoeuer
was
promised
of
the
Messias
,
and
to
manifest
his
infinite
loue
to
the
posteritie
of
Abraham
:
yea
towards
all
men
,
being
now
readie
to
giue
his
life
a
ransome
for
the
sinnes
of
the
whole
world
.
This
mercifull
visitation
they
would
in
no
wise
knowe
,
wherefore
there
was
nothing
more
to
be
expected
,
but
the
seueritie
of
Gods
wrath
and
iudgements
to
fall
vpon
them
which
before
he
had
threatned
.
I
goe
my
way
and
ye
shall
seeke
me
,
and
you
shall
die
in
your
sinnes
.
And
,
The
daies
will
come
,
that
you
shall
desire
to
see
one
of
the
daies
of
the
sonne
of
man
,
and
ye
shall
not
see
it
.
And
againe
;
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
which
killest
the
Prophets
,
and
stonest
them
which
were
sent
vnto
thee
,
how
often
would
I
haue
gathered
thy
Children
together
,
as
the
henne
gathereth
her
chickens
vnder
her
wings
,
and
ye
would
not
:
behold
your
habitation
shall
be
left
vnto
you
desolate
.
Againe
:
Ye
daughters
of
Ierusalem
,
weepe
not
for
me
,
but
weepe
for
your selues
,
and
for
your
children
:
for
behold
,
the
daies
will
come
,
when
men
shall
say
,
blessed
are
the
barraine
,
and
the
wombe
that
neuer
bare
,
and
the
pappes
that
neuer
gaue
sucke
.
All
these
euills
were
at
hand
,
yea
euen
at
the
doore
,
punishment
could
not
long
be
deferred
,
seeing
Gods
gratious
visitation
was
contemned
.
This
did
CHRIST
foresee
as
if
it
were
present
,
namely
,
that
Ierusalem
should
come
with
that
whole
Nation
into
vtter
desolation
:
without
environed
with
the
enemie
:
within
,
afflicted
with
seditions
and
factions
,
that
so
many
thousands
should
perish
with
the
sword
,
famine
,
and
pestilence
,
that
the
remnant
should
be
scattered
abroad
through
the
whole
world
,
solde
,
and
be
made
a
spectacle
vnto
all
Nations
,
this
their
miserie
,
this
pittifull
Sauiour
knewe
to
be
at
hand
,
and
bewailed
the
same
.
First
,
how
fearefully
God
is
wont
to
punish
ingratitude
and
incredulitie
.
Secondly
,
from
whence
all
miserie
in
the
world
,
as
famine
,
sword
,
pestilence
,
strange
diseases
,
and
all
euills
both
of
body
and
soule
proceed
.
Will
ye
know
how
seuerely
God
punisheth
the
ingratitude
and
incredulitie
of
men
?
we
might
knowe
the
time
of
our
visitation
,
and
the
things
which
pertaine
to
our
peace
.
When
men
cannot
foresee
,
nor
see
in
time
,
neither
good
nor
euill
,
happines
,
nor
miserie
.
Their
good
they
see
not
before
it
be
lost
and
gone
,
their
euills
they
foresee
not
,
before
they
fall
vpon
them
,
and
light
on
their
heads
,
to
their
irreuocable
destruction
,
so
that
they
cannot
shun
or
avoide
them
:
and
is
not
this
a
plague
of
all
plagues
?
What
more
vnhappie
then
when
a
man
hath
many
good
things
,
and
yet
seeth
them
not
,
nor
knoweth
them
,
much
lesse
can
conuert
them
to
his
vse
and
profit
?
what
more
fearefull
,
then
when
all
euills
,
destructions
and
miseries
,
hangeth
ouer
our
heads
,
yea
euen
at
the
doore
,
and
yet
we
see
them
not
,
nor
will
knowe
them
that
we
might
escape
them
?
And
so
was
it
with
the
people
of
the
Iewes
,
(
as
it
is
alwaies
with
wicked
men
)
they
had
CHRIST
the
Sonne
of
God
,
and
Sauiour
among
them
,
and
with
him
all
goodnes
,
eternall
saluation
,
and
God
himselfe
,
yet
they
did
not
see
him
,
they
would
not
knowe
him
,
they
would
not
beleeue
in
him
,
before
Christ
with
the
kingdome
of
God
and
all
goodnes
departed
from
them
,
and
all
miseries
ouerwhelmed
them
,
warres
,
famine
,
sword
and
pestilence
,
which
vtterly
destroyed
the
citie
and
whole
Nation
;
O
quam
periere
ruinae
?
How
are
the
ruines
ruinated
?
there
were
solde
for
slaues
by
the
Romanes
,
97000.
which
were
dispersed
and
scattered
into
all
Nations
.
So
seuerely
did
God
punish
this
Nation
for
their
incredulitie
&
ingratitude
,
with
blindnes
,
that
they
could
not
enioy
the
graces
and
fauours
which
God
offered
them
,
nor
escape
his
punishments
denounced
against
them
.
Heb
▪
10.31
.
So
fearefull
a
thing
is
it
to
fall
into
the
hands
of
the
liuing
God
.
O
how
horrible
a
punishment
is
this
Pôrosis
Cardhias
obduration
,
hardnes
of
hart
,
and
blindnes
,
when
God
taketh
away
his
grace
and
light
from
men
,
which
they
refuse
,
and
wlll
not
walke
therein
,
and
giueth
them
ouer
to
Sathan
to
be
blinded
,
who
so
darkeneth
their
cogitations
,
(
as
the
Apostle
speaketh
of
the
Gentiles
)
that
being
past
feeling
,
they
giue
themselues
to
worke
all
vncleannes
,
euen
with
greedines
.
And
the
cause
of
this
Analgesias
and
losse
of
feeling
,
the
Apostle
teacheth
to
be
obstinacie
,
and
perseuerance
in
sinne
against
conscience
,
so
that
at
length
they
begin
obducere
callum
,
to
growe
to
hardnes
of
heart
,
that
as
if
their
conscience
were
seared
with
a
hotte
yron
,
they
are
touched
with
no
sence
and
feeling
of
their
sinnes
any
more
,
nay
the
wickednes
they
commit
against
the
first
or
second
table
,
they
feare
not
to
iest
at
,
and
defend
,
as
if
it
were
well
done
,
calling
good
euill
,
and
euill
good
.
And
this
is
the
extreamest
degree
to
perdition
,
and
may
well
be
called
,
not
onely
the
most
greeuous
of
all
sinnes
,
but
also
the
cause
of
all
sinnes
,
This
the
Apostle
calleth
;
Spiritum
Catanózeôs
,
Spirit
of
slumber
,
eyes
that
they
should
not
see
,
and
eares
that
they
should
not
heare
.
O
fearefull
estate
.
And
from
whence
is
so
great
blindnes
in
the
world
at
this
day
among
such
as
professe
christianitie
,
that
whoredomes
,
murthers
,
theft
,
periuries
,
horrible
swearing
and
blasphemies
,
vsurie
and
oppression
,
fraude
,
deceit
,
and
vndermining
one
of
an
other
,
and
all
other
sins
against
conscience
,
are
daily
practised
without
shame
or
any
feeling
at
all
?
Surely
these
are
manifest
signes
of
Gods
wrath
,
pursuing
vs
for
our
ingratitude
and
contempt
of
his
graces
,
giuing
vs
ouer
as
incorrigible
,
vnto
the
power
of
Sathan
and
hardnes
of
heart
.
And
is
not
this
a
miserable
blindnes
,
that
these
sins
haue
brought
vs
to
the
very
brincke
of
the
pit
of
destruction
,
and
without
repentance
must
needs
cast
vs
shortly
therein
,
and
yet
we
will
not
see
it
,
that
we
might
auoide
the
danger
,
nor
the
snares
the
diuell
layeth
before
vs
,
that
we
might
escape
them
,
but
run
on
still
in
our
wickednes
,
to
our
irreuocable
ruine
,
refusing
to
knowe
,
in
this
our
day
,
the
things
which
pertaine
vnto
our
peace
:
but
,
after
the
hardnes
of
our
heart
that
cannot
repent
,
heape
still
vnto
our selues
wrath
,
against
the
day
of
wrath
.
Surely
,
it
is
to
be
feared
,
that
the
Lords
controuersie
,
which
he
hath
with
this
land
,
is
so
great
as
that
he
had
with
that
sinfull
Nation
,
because
there
is
no
truth
,
nor
mercy
,
nor
knowledge
of
God
in
the
Land
,
by
swearing
and
lying
,
stealing
,
and
whoring
,
they
breake
forth
,
and
blood
toucheth
blood
.
The
Lord
for
his
infinite
mercy
sake
lighten
the
darkenes
of
our
mindes
,
and
giue
vs
feeling
and
vnderstanding
hearts
.
Secondly
,
we
are
here
taught
,
from
whence
warres
,
famine
,
scarcitie
of
all
things
,
the
sword
and
strange
diseases
,
pestilence
and
all
euills
in
the
world
spring
and
proceed
:
namely
,
for
our
ingratitude
towards
God
,
because
we
will
not
knowe
the
time
of
our
visitation
,
nor
the
things
that
pertaine
to
our
true
peace
.
This
gratious
visitation
began
when
the
sonne
of
God
tooke
our
flesh
vpon
him
,
and
was
borne
in
the
world
:
through
the
tender
mercy
of
our
God
,
whereby
the
day
spring
from
an
high
hath
visited
vs
,
saith
holy
Zachariah
:
which
benefite
was
so
great
,
that
all
the
wit
of
men
and
Angells
is
not
able
to
expresse
it
sufficiently
,
and
this
louing
visitation
as
yet
endureth
,
he
ceaseth
not
still
to
visite
vs
:
but
how
little
doe
we
consider
thereof
?
what
thankfulnesse
haue
we
shewed
?
how
little
are
we
bettered
thereby
?
how
small
is
our
care
to
serue
him
in
holines
and
righteousnes
all
the
daies
of
our
life
?
yet
to
this
very
end
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
visited
vs
,
saith
his
Apostle
,
who
gaue
himselfe
for
vs
that
he
might
redeeme
vs
from
all
iniquitie
,
and
purge
vs
to
be
a
peculiar
people
vnto
himselfe
,
zealous
of
good
workes
.
No
maruell
then
that
we
haue
had
so
many
yeares
of
dearth
,
vnseasonable
weather
,
horrible
tempests
,
shipwrackes
,
pestilence
,
strange
diseases
,
&c.
God
hath
but
now
begun
,
he
doth
in
fatherly
affection
but
shake
the
rodde
ouer
our
heads
▪
our
sinnes
are
the
cause
,
which
except
we
remoue
,
the
effects
will
not
cease
,
patientia
laesa
fit
furor
,
except
he
see
amendment
,
his
long
patience
shal
be
conuerted
into
the
furie
of
his
wrath
.
Let
then
Ierusalem
and
the
people
of
the
Iewes
,
be
a
warning
vnto
vs
.
Happie
is
he
whom
other
mens
harmes
can
cause
to
beware
.
A
long
time
now
hath
the
Gospell
bene
purely
preached
vnto
vs
,
but
with
what
fruite
?
How
fewe
of
vs
doe
acknowledge
as
we
ought
,
this
gratious
visitation
of
the
Lord
?
Where
is
our
obedience
,
reuerence
,
and
thankefulnes
due
vnto
Gods
holy
word
?
where
is
our
zeale
and
loue
we
owe
vnto
Gods
ministers
?
where
is
our
reformation
of
life
?
How
many
scoffers
are
there
among
vs
?
How
many
are
there
which
thinke
themselues
,
in
the
arrogancie
of
their
spirit
,
to
be
wiser
then
their
teachers
?
How
many
are
there
which
come
rather
as
criticall
carpers
and
censurers
of
the
Preacher
,
then
fruitfull
hearers
?
What
contempt
and
neglect
of
the
holy
exercise
of
publike
prayer
,
the
chiefest
dutie
of
a
true
Christian
,
to
which
God
hath
made
so
many
sweete
promises
,
and
so
earnestly
commaundeth
?
How
many
are
there
which
holde
that
the
whole
dutie
of
a
Christian
consisteth
in
hearing
onely
,
without
any
care
to
conuert
their
hearing
into
knowledge
,
and
their
knowledge
,
into
action
?
How
many
swinish
Epicures
are
there
to
be
found
de
grege
porci
,
which
liue
rather
like
hogges
then
Christians
?
Shall
we
thinke
that
God
,
the
iust
reuenger
of
all
impietie
,
will
euer
be
silent
at
these
and
many
other
sinnes
,
which
sorrowe
of
heart
forbiddeth
me
to
vtter
?
No
,
no
,
God
will
not
be
mocked
,
he
is
the
same
,
he
changeth
not
.
Let
vs
therefore
yet
at
length
acknowledge
the
time
of
our
visitation
,
and
let
vs
consider
the
season
,
that
it
is
now
time
that
we
should
rise
from
sleepe
,
for
now
is
our
saluation
nearer
then
when
we
beleeued
,
the
night
is
passed
,
the
day
is
at
hand
,
let
vs
cast
away
the
workes
of
darkenes
,
and
put
vpon
vs
the
armour
of
light
,
so
that
we
walke
honestly
as
in
the
day
,
not
in
gluttonie
and
drunkennes
,
strife
and
enuying
.
Here
againe
,
is
seriously
to
be
considered
,
that
Christ
mentioneth
two
daies
or
times
,
The
first
is
the
time
of
grace
,
time
of
our
visitation
,
the
day
of
peace
,
or
which
is
giuen
vs
to
prouide
for
our
peace
:
And
our
day
.
It
is
called
the
time
of
visitation
,
because
God
in
his
onely
beloued
sonne
,
of
his
infinite
mercy
and
loue
hath
visited
vs
.
It
is
called
the
day
of
peace
,
because
in
it
Christ
hath
with
his
owne
precious
blood
reconciled
vs
vnto
God
,
and
because
we
should
therein
seeke
forth
things
that
pertaine
vnto
our
true
peace
.
He
calleth
it
our
day
,
because
our
gratious
God
hath
allotted
this
time
for
repentance
,
we
might
giue
all
diligence
to
make
our
calling
and
election
sure
,
to
serue
the
Lord
in
righteousnes
and
holines
,
to
lay
vp
treasures
in
heauen
,
to
labour
by
repentance
to
be
truely
reconciled
vnto
God
,
to
make
prouision
for
the
eternall
day
in
the
life
to
come
,
which
neuer
shall
haue
ende
.
He
calleth
this
in
the
singular
number
a
day
,
because
the
time
of
this
life
is
short
,
but
a
moment
,
a
vapour
,
smoke
,
a
dreame
,
that
we
may
be
blamelesse
and
pure
as
the
sonne
of
God
,
when
we
shall
appeare
before
him
,
to
labour
to
adorne
our
soules
with
vertues
,
to
take
heed
,
watch
,
and
pray
,
for
we
knowe
not
when
the
time
is
:
After
the
Apostles
counsaile
,
to
forget
that
which
is
behinde
,
and
speedily
to
endeuour
our selues
vnto
that
which
is
before
,
and
followe
hard
towards
the
marke
for
the
price
of
the
high
calling
of
God
in
Christ
Iesus
.
Least
we
fall
into
the
other
day
,
our
day
,
but
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
a
day
of
trouble
and
heauines
,
a
day
of
destruction
and
desolation
,
a
day
of
obscuritie
and
darkenes
,
this
day
of
the
Lord
is
great
and
terrible
,
who
may
abide
it
?
This
day
,
the
Lord
expresseth
in
the
plurall
number
[
for
the
daies
shall
come
vpon
thee
]
because
the
punishments
shall
be
great
and
without
end
.
This
day
the
Lord
hath
ordained
for
them
which
contemne
this
present
acceptable
time
of
grace
,
the
day
of
saluation
,
the
time
of
his
gratious
visitation
,
and
refuseth
to
knowe
,
in
this
their
day
,
the
things
that
pertaine
vnto
their
peace
.
There
is
none
so
wicked
,
Thou
biting
Vsurer
,
thou
beastly
whoremonger
,
thou
blody
murtherer
,
thou
prowling
thiefe
,
thou
cruell
oppressor
,
thou
couetous
Caitiffe
,
thou
swinish
Epicure
,
thou
that
liuest
in
enuie
,
malice
,
&c.
O
consider
,
in
time
I
say
consider
,
that
the
mercifull
GOD
giueth
thee
a
day
:
The
day
of
this
life
,
to
prouide
,
by
Repentance
,
for
thy
peace
,
whensoeuer
the
Lorde
by
his
Preachers
out
of
his
holy
Word
,
or
by
his
holy
motions
,
Diuine
inspirations
,
stings
of
conscience
,
&c.
knocketh
at
the
dore
of
thy
heart
;
Thinke
then
that
this
is
thy
day
.
Oh
slippe
not
this
occasion
:
Let
not
this
time
vnfruitfully
passe
away
:
Open
to
this
sweete
Guest
,
least
for
thy
contempt
of
his
gratious
Visitation
,
thou
fall
into
the
dayes
of
his
fearfull
Wrath
and
terible
indignation
.
Beholde
now
is
the
accepted
time
,
beholde
now
is
the
day
of
saluation
.
But
leauing
the
Iewes
in
their
infidelitie
and
hardnesse
of
heart
,
Let
vs
come
vnto
our selues
,
(
brethren
)
whom
the
Lord
is
wont
many
times
to
visite
.
Visite
vs
(
saieth
the
prophet
)
with
thy
saluation
.
Hee
visiteth
vs
,
when
he
sendeth
vnto
vs
,
teachers
&
ministers
of
his
word
,
to
shew
vs
the
way
of
Eternall
felicitie
.
So
when
he
raised
vp
the
widowes
Sonne
from
Death
,
the
people
glorified
GOD
,
saying
,
A
great
Prophet
is
raised
vp
among
vs
,
and
God
hath
visited
his
People
,
to
whome
he
sent
such
a
Prophet
and
teacher
of
Righteousnes
.
He
visiteth
vs
,
being
secure
,
carelesse
,
and
nothing
bettered
by
his
Worde
and
benefites
,
when
he
chastiseth
vs
with
calamities
,
crosses
and
plagues
,
to
the
intent
hee
may
recall
vs
into
the
way
of
Righteousnesse
:
Of
this
Visitation
in
the
person
of
God
,
speaketh
the
princely
Prophet
;
But
if
his
Children
forsake
my
Lawe
,
and
walke
not
in
my
Iudgements
:
if
they
breake
my
Statutes
,
and
keepe
not
my
Commandements
:
then
will
I
visite
their
transgressions
with
the
Rod
,
and
their
inquities
with
Scourges
.
Sometimes
he
visiteteth
vs
by
his
preachers
,
which
are
his
Ambassadors
,
to
deliuer
his
message
vnto
vs
:
Sometimes
by
giuing
vs
good
Motions
and
holie
Inspirations
:
Sometime
by
the
examples
of
others
,
that
beholding
before
our
Eyes
their
punishments
,
we
should
be
the
more
warie
how
we
fall
into
sinne
.
For
so
the
Lord
saith
by
his
Prophet
Ieremie
:
When
I
saw
how
that
by
all
occasions
,
rebellious
Israel
had
played
the
harlot
,
I
cast
her
away
,
and
gaue
her
a
bill
of
diuorsement
,
yet
her
rebellious
sister
Iudah
was
not
afraide
,
but
played
the
harlot
also
.
And
thus
the
Lord
greeuously
threatneth
by
his
Prophet
,
that
Iudah
would
not
beware
by
an
others
harme
,
and
acknowledge
Gods
visitation
in
her
sisters
punishment
,
as
it
were
seeing
fire
in
her
next
neighbours
roofe
,
according
to
the
prouerbe
:
Tunc
tua
res
agitur
paries
cum
proximus
ardet
.
So
that
there
is
no
wicked
man
,
but
one
time
or
other
hath
a
time
of
visitation
,
as
Ierusalem
had
her
time
of
visitation
by
Christs
doctrine
,
examples
and
miracles
:
so
there
is
no
sinner
,
at
whose
heart
God
sometime
doth
not
knocke
,
though
they
doe
not
all
alike
receiue
his
visitation
.
After
this
manner
the
Lord
is
wont
to
visite
his
people
,
to
whose
voice
and
gratious
visitation
,
many
giue
so
deafe
an
eare
,
that
they
are
neither
wonne
by
his
benefites
,
mollified
by
his
admonitions
,
mooued
by
his
inward
inspirations
,
nor
by
his
plagues
and
punishments
will
be
reduced
into
the
way
of
righteousnes
.
Continuall
custome
in
sinne
,
hath
conuerted
nature
into
so
obstinate
an
habite
,
vt
callos
in
anima
contrax
erint
.
(
As
the
prouerbe
is
)
their
very
hearts
are
so
hard
as
brawne
,
altogether
insensible
in
their
wickednes
.
That
strong
armed
man
which
besiegeth
the
fort
of
their
hearts
,
diligently
laboureth
to
stoppe
euery
passage
,
that
the
light
of
Gods
holy
spirit
cannot
peirce
into
them
.
The
nature
and
might
of
that
enemie
,
is
mistically
shadowed
out
by
God
himselfe
,
in
the
description
of
the
monster
Leuiathan
,
his
scales
are
like
strong
shieldes
,
and
are
sure
sealed
,
one
is
set
to
an
other
,
that
no
winde
may
come
betweene
them
.
Such
as
this
olde
Sepent
is
,
such
are
his
children
whom
he
possesseth
:
he
fortifieth
the
holde
of
their
heart
,
as
it
were
with
hard
scales
,
that
no
spiritual
artillerie
may
penetrate
the
same
;
lay
before
them
Gods
threatnings
for
sin
,
the
terrors
of
hell
for
the
reprobate
,
the
ioyes
of
heauen
for
the
penitent
,
&c.
They
are
no
more
moued
quam
si
parieti
loqueris
,
then
if
thou
spakest
to
the
Wall
,
as
if
Hell
and
Death
had
alreadie
laide
holde
and
seazed
vpon
them
.
The
Booke
of
God
,
assureth
vs
that
the
cause
of
their
captiuitie
heretofore
,
was
the
contempt
of
Gods
Worde
and
Prophets
,
when
all
the
people
were
miserablie
caryed
away
into
Babell
;
But
they
mocked
the
Messengers
of
the
Lorde
,
and
contemned
his
Words
,
and
misused
his
Prophets
,
vntill
the
wrath
of
the
Lorde
arose
against
his
people
,
and
till
there
was
no
remedie
.
And
the
Sonne
of
God
saieth
heere
,
That
the
cause
of
their
woefull
and
finall
destruction
,
whereof
I
haue
spoken
,
was
also
,
because
they
refused
to
know
the
time
of
their
visitation
:
and
therefore
persecuted
his
messengers
.
And
lastly
,
the
Sonne
of
God
himselfe
,
which
he
bewailed
;
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
which
killest
the
prophets
,
&
stonest
them
which
are
sent
vnto
thee
,
how
often
would
I
haue
gathered
thy
children
together
,
as
the
Hen
gathereth
her
brood
vnder
her
wings
,
&
ye
would
not
.
But
(
ô
good
God
)
if
we
compare
the
sins
of
England
at
this
day
,
with
the
sinnes
of
the
Iewes
,
how
can
wee
chuse
but
feare
&
tremble
?
Considering
that
not
Ierusalem
onely
,
but
also
England
,
is
plunged
in
as
deepe
obliuion
of
the
Time
of
her
Visitation
,
as
euer
that
sinfull
Citie
was
.
Surely
(
Beloued
,
)
griefe
of
heart
willeth
me
to
sit
still
in
silence
,
and
wish
with
holie
Ieremie
,
that
my
Head
were
full
of
water
,
and
mine
eyes
a
Fountaine
of
Teares
,
that
I
might
weepe
Day
and
Night
for
the
sinnes
of
this
Land
:
Yet
sithe
Zeale
enforceth
mee
to
speake
,
I
had
rather
vse
the
wordes
of
a
zealous
Preacher
,
Are
not
Gods
Cryers
reckoned
but
as
Cassandraes
prophesies
?
His
Ambassadors
,
worse
then
Iustinians
Orators
?
Yea
,
no
better
then
the
Filthe
and
Offscowring
of
all
things
vnto
this
Day
?
Euery
cursed
Tobiah
and
Samballat
,
is
enuying
at
our
Spirituall
buildings
:
Euery
scoffing
Michol
,
Hodie
venenum
cecidit
in
ecclesiam
.
But
now
the
Miscreants
of
this
age
haue
found
a
remedie
for
that
disease
,
and
haue
giuen
vs
tryacle
ynough
to
purge
out
all
this
poyson
,
which
hath
neuer
ceased
vntill
it
hath
extracted
almost
bowells
and
all
.
What
the
Palmer-worme
Papist
with
his
Impropriations
;
and
after
him
the
Grashopper
Athiest
with
his
prescriptions
;
and
after
him
,
the
Cankerworme
Patron
,
with
his
reseruations
;
And
last
of
all
,
the
Caterpiller
Cormorant
with
his
illusions
;
The
Patrimonie
of
the
Church
like
Pharaoes
goodly
kine
,
hath
bene
deuoured
by
ill
fauoured
,
leane
,
and
hungrie
Nunscions
,
and
made
like
the
descent
of
Nabuchadnezzars
Image
,
because
we
will
not
knowe
the
time
of
our
visitation
.
If
he
smote
with
so
dreadfull
a
iudgement
Ananiah
and
Saphyrah
his
wife
(
saith
a
worthie
and
a
reuerend
Father
of
our
Church
)
for
withholding
but
part
of
the
Church
maintenance
which
by
themselues
was
giuen
,
will
he
endure
for
euer
,
them
that
take
what
they
neuer
gaue
?
No
,
no
,
O
Sunanite
,
that
intreatedst
thy
husband
to
builde
for
the
Prophet
a
chamber
and
to
furnish
it
;
but
thy
memorie
is
blessed
with
God
and
man
,
and
a
witnes
shalt
thou
be
in
the
day
of
iudgement
,
against
pullers
downe
of
the
houses
built
by
men
and
women
of
deuotion
and
pietie
,
In
that
which
I
haue
said
(
brethren
)
we
may
behold
the
fruite
that
springeth
from
this
poysoned
roote
of
sinne
,
and
what
is
the
reward
thereof
,
how
hatesome
all
wickednes
is
in
the
fight
of
God
,
which
caused
him
to
plucke
vp
his
people
whom
he
had
planted
,
to
cast
euen
downe
to
hell
,
them
whom
he
had
aduanced
,
aboue
all
other
Nations
,
and
lifted
vp
to
heauen
.
This
should
worke
in
vs
a
detestation
of
sinne
,
yea
by
all
meanes
to
flie
from
sinne
as
from
a
Serpent
,
Your
sinnes
haue
separated
betweene
you
and
your
God
.
Sinne
is
also
full
of
shame
and
confusion
:
for
such
is
the
filthines
of
sinne
,
in
it selfe
,
that
it
seeketh
corners
,
walketh
masked
,
and
loueth
the
darkenes
:
Qui
male
agit
odit
lucem
,
he
that
euill
doth
hateth
the
light
.
Sinne
is
also
full
of
bitternes
&
sorrowe
;
as
truely
saith
S.
Augustine
:
Knowe
and
behold
,
(
saith
Ieremie
in
the
person
of
God
)
that
it
is
an
euill
and
a
bitter
thing
,
that
thou
hast
forsaken
the
Lord
thy
God
,
and
that
my
feare
is
not
in
thee
,
saith
the
Lorde
God
of
Hosts
.
As
Iob
in
all
his
miseries
,
neuer
wanted
a
Messenger
that
would
bring
him
euill
tidings
:
So
in
euery
sinne
,
an
euill
messenger
is
euer
at
hand
,
which
woundeth
and
teareth
the
conscience
.
Whoso
Lips
droppe
like
an
honie
combe
,
but
her
end
is
bitter
as
Wormewood
,
her
feete
goe
downe
to
death
,
and
her
steppes
take
holde
on
Hell
.
Sinne
is
like
an
itching
Vlcer
,
This
gnawing
of
conscience
,
an
inseparable
companion
of
sinne
,
the
Lorde
threatneth
vnto
the
wiced
:
Yee
shall
flie
when
none
pursueth
you
.
Againe
,
The
sound
of
a
Leafe
shaken
,
shall
chase
them
away
.
Can
any
thing
bee
spoken
more
significantly
,
to
expresse
the
terrors
of
a
guilty
conscience
?
This
plainly
proueth
if
there
were
nothing
else
▪
how
full
of
bitternes
and
sorrow
sinne
is
:
yet
in
many
other
respects
,
the
euills
that
proceed
of
sinne
may
be
considred
,
because
it
bringeth
eternall
punishment
;
because
it
weakeneth
the
powers
of
the
soule
;
because
our
desires
are
accompanied
with
infinite
cares
,
and
troubles
:
because
it
onely
maketh
a
separation
betweene
God
and
man
:
it
caused
the
sonne
of
God
to
descend
from
heauen
,
to
be
made
man
,
and
to
suffer
the
ignominious
death
of
the
Crosse
,
because
the
haynous
enormitie
of
sinne
,
was
such
,
that
it
could
be
expiated
by
no
other
meanes
but
by
the
blood
of
the
onely
begotten
sonne
of
God
.
The
vse
(
brethren
)
of
all
that
I
haue
said
is
,
Wherfore
we
ought
diligently
to
giue
heede
to
the
things
which
we
haue
heard
,
least
at
any
time
we
should
let
them
slip
,
for
if
the
word
spoken
by
Angells
was
stedfast
,
and
euery
transgression
and
disobedience
,
receiued
a
iust
recompence
of
reward
,
how
shall
we
escape
which
neglect
so
great
saluation
?
For
if
the
abuse
of
Gods
benefites
and
their
ingratitude
brought
vpon
this
people
so
heauie
a
destruction
:
what
should
not
we
feare
of
God
the
same
Iudge
,
which
haue
receiued
farre
greater
benefites
,
and
yet
are
bettered
nothing
thereby
:
but
still
remaine
vnthankefull
?
What
should
we
feare
doe
I
say
?
Doe
we
not
see
the
same
calamitie
and
vastation
to
haue
fallen
vpon
the
greatest
part
of
all
Christendome
at
this
day
?
Once
in
the
flourishing
state
of
the
Romane
Empire
,
the
Christian
religion
was
extended
almost
through
the
whole
world
,
but
at
this
day
,
how
small
a
portion
is
left
,
the
barbarous
Turke
for
our
sinnes
still
enchroaching
vpon
vs
?
Doe
we
not
here
plainely
see
,
the
same
God
,
in
the
same
cause
,
to
haue
begun
the
same
iudgement
among
vs
?
what
cause
then
haue
we
to
hearken
to
this
admonishion
of
the
Apostle
,
though
some
of
the
branches
be
broken
off
,
and
thou
being
a
wilde
oliue
tree
,
wast
graft
in
for
them
:
be
not
high
minded
,
for
if
God
spared
not
the
naturall
branches
,
take
heede
least
he
spare
not
thee
.
The
Iewes
once
were
the
naturall
branches
;
the
legitimate
children
of
God
:
we
were
strangers
to
the
testament
:
they
were
the
naturall
branches
of
the
Oliue
,
we
were
but
graffes
:
if
then
God
dealt
so
seuerely
with
the
naturall
branches
,
when
they
sinned
against
him
:
what
should
we
looke
for
which
are
fallen
into
the
like
sinnes
?
surely
,
we
may
iustly
feare
greater
punishments
.
For
so
saith
the
Lord
by
his
Prophet
Ieremie
,
For
loe
I
begin
to
plague
a
citie
where
my
name
is
called
vpon
,
and
should
you
goe
free
?
ye
shall
not
goe
quit
,
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes
.
And
for
the
beating
downe
of
securitie
,
let
vs
consider
that
this
miserie
fell
vpon
Ierusalem
when
they
were
most
secure
in
their
sinnes
;
for
when
they
thought
that
the
heauens
had
buried
in
obliuion
,
the
blood
of
the
Prophets
,
and
the
cruell
death
of
the
sonne
of
God
,
then
when
they
least
surmised
,
God
raised
vp
the
whole
power
of
the
Romaines
,
vnder
the
conduct
of
Vespatian
and
Hadrian
,
which
vtterly
subuerted
the
Cittie
Ierusalem
,
with
fiftie
other
fenced
Cities
,
Soule
,
thou
hast
much
goods
layed
vp
in
store
for
many
yeares
:
liue
at
ease
,
eate
,
drinke
,
and
be
merrie
.
Scarce
had
he
vttered
,
or
conceiued
in
minde
this
thought
,
before
he
heard
this
voyce
:
O
foole
,
this
night
will
they
fetch
away
thy
soule
from
thee
,
whose
then
shall
those
things
be
which
thou
hast
prouided
?
Let
vs
therefore
(
beloued
)
hauing
alwaies
these
examples
before
our
eyes
,
begin
yet
at
last
to
be
wise
by
others
harmes
,
and
this
present
opportunitie
of
repentance
which
God
in
his
mercy
hath
lent
vs
,
let
vs
not
suffer
vnfruitfully
to
passe
away
,
let
vs
neuer
forget
this
saying
of
our
Lord
:
The
Night
commeth
when
none
can
worke
:
but
while
the
day
of
saluation
lasteth
,
and
righteousnes
all
the
daies
of
our
life
.
Which
God
graunt
for
his
infinite
mercy
sake
,
to
whom
with
the
Sonne
and
the
holy
Ghost
,
three
persons
in
one
most
glorious
Trinitie
,
one
God
in
vnitie
,
might
,
and
Maiestie
,
be
all
praise
,
power
and
dominion
,
now
and
for
euer
,
Amen
.
